Question For BlogExplosion Surfers (Updated)

New poll for November 12!

First off, allow me to extend my condolences that you did not receive any mystery credits on that last click. Instead you ended up here, for which I am profoundly apologetic.

But while we have a few seconds together (it seems unlikely this will be more than a 30-second visit), allow me to ask you a question.

[poll removed]

In a previous poll I asked how many of the sites that BlogExplosion users click through they actually read. Almost 200 people chimed in. Here are the results:

  • 2.8% admitted to reading none of them.
  • 45.6% said they read the occassional one.
  • 51.4% said they read almost every one.

Those seem like pretty good results for me. It means that the majority of people who come to a site through BlogExplosion are at least sticking around to read a bit of the content.

    Are We Post Woke?

    It is too early to tell, I think, whether the “wokeness” craze has already peaked and even begun to slip into decline, or whether it’s just pausing to gather energy for another surge. What seems clear for the moment, though, is that it has lost at least some of its initial momentum, probably because it…

    Petty Annoyances and Minor Insults

    I wonder if you are like me in that, as you look back on your life, you realize that most of the circumstances that have troubled you, most of the annoyances and disgruntlements, were produced by circumstances that were hardly worth noticing.
